It's summertime, and when the sun is shining, we want to shed those tired sweats, throw on a pair of comfy shorts and get outside to soak it up. As always, Amazon is two steps ahead of us. In this case, the retailer slashed the price of the ever-popular Hanes French Terry Shorts. Right now, you can snag a pair starting at just $15.
Just the right length for staying cool while keeping things covered.
As much as we'd love to, we can't put a price on comfort — it's just too valuable. That said, 15 bucks for go-to shorts — ideal for the outdoors when it's warm and indoors when lounging — is a really good deal. They're also available in light steel and navy, so now's the time to stock up. (Note that prices may vary.)
Mother Nature is now allowing us to liberate our legs and peel away our jeans and sweats. But of course, having something to slip into when we're not out and about is imperative. That something shouldn't require a lot of thought — and that's what these shorts are all about. The French terry means the fabric is smooth on the outside and soft on the inside for comfort. To make them even more comfortable, they have an elastic band around the waist along with a drawstring. And unlike the regular (and mega-popular) jersey shorts, these are a bit longer for those of us who like to keep our thighs covered.
Nearly 17,000 shoppers have already given these babies a test drive and given them a big thumbs up.
"Long enough for 67-year-old legs (heehee) and very soft and comfy," shared a cheeky reviewer. "They're also slimming! And they are just a little more dressy if you want, because of the cuff. Easy to wash and throw in the dryer."
"These Hanes shorts are very well made," another savvy shopper wrote. "I've had them for probably 4 months and they still look new. I'm a large person, but I feel that the fit is as flattering as it can be and I like that the short legs don't ride up or bunch up at all. They stay comfortable all day long. Maybe part of that is from the length (which I also like a lot)."
A third fan reported: "Was getting these for comfortable, around-the-house option but was surprised how nice they looked. Have worn them much more than I thought I would. Wash well, pull them out of dryer and hang or lie flat before they’re completely dry and keep shape pretty well."
Other shoppers think these shorts lack in color and pocket.
"I like the length of these shorts because after a certain age you just don’t want shortie shorts," wrote a frugal fan. "I am now that age. I don’t particularly like the shallowness of the pockets. Hard to put a cellphone in and not worry. But these shorts are nice and weren’t expensive, so I also got two other colors."
"Loved everything about these Bermuda shorts: the material, the length, the pockets." shared another shopper. "Very well made for inexpensive shorts. I was looking for comfort to wear around the house. I’ve bought two pair and if there were more colors I’d buy more."
